    Terrific food. Good Variety of dishes and options. Was in an outdoor pod which was cosy and warm and with dogs allowed. Worth a lovely treat, but a rare one as on the expensive side, although we did over order a little! Might have been nice to have some light background music in the pod.

    This was our third visit, fantastic food and amazing service. We took advantage of a January offer they were running, so ended up being extremely good value. It was our first time in a pod and we were a little concerned about being cold, but the heater provided was perfectly adequate for heating the pod. An overall tasty and enjoyable experience.
